Gandhi Ji’s Talisman to the Country Men
“Whenever you are in a doubt or when the self becomes too much with you,
apply the following test:
Recall the face of poorest and the weakest man you may have seen and ask
yourself if the step you contemplate is going to be a any use to him. Will he
gain anything by it? Will restore him to a control over his own life and destiny?
In other words, will it lead to swaraj for the hungry and spiritually starving
millions?
Then you will find your doubts and your self melting away”.

1.3 THE DIRECTOR’S REPORT 2014-15
The IIITs Act 2015
A watershed event for our Institute is the enactment the Indian Institutes of
Information Technology Act in January 2015. The act makes ours an Institute of
national importance, and as a conseque nce we now possess the autonomy and a
governance structure suited to attract the best students and faculty, and to create
an environment for their nurture and growth. We are aware of the great trust the
nation has placed in us and all of us are determined to be worthy of the trust.
The Academics
At the end of the academic session of 2014-15, 264 B.Tech(IT) and 86 B.Tech(ECE)
students, 112 M.Tech(IT) and 32 MTech(EE) students, 71 MBA(IT) students, 45
MSCLIS students, and 11 Ph.D students completed the requirements for the award
of degrees.
In order to improve the quality of our post-graduate programs, a number of dual-
degree courses have been introduced from the academic session of 2014-15.
These are: 5 year dual-degrees in BTech (ECE) and MTech (EE), in BTech (ECE) and
MTech(Biomedical Engg.), in BTech (ECE) and MBA(IT), in BTech(IT) and MBA(IT),
BTech(IT) and MTech(IT) with various specializations, namely, Bio-informatics,
Cyber Law and Information Security, Human Computer Interaction, Intelligent
Systems, Robotics, Software Engineering, and Wireless Communication
Engineering. We have also introduced an integrated program in MBA - PhD.
Our Institute is known for its excellence in information technology. With a view to
do even better in future, an External Review of the Department of Information
Technology was carried out. The Review Committee comprised Professor Gautam
Barua, Mentor Director, IIIT Guwahati, Professor Rajat Moona, Director General, C-
DAC, and Professor Harish Karnick, Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Kanpur.
Recommendations of the Committee are being factored into the restructuring of
the UG and PG curricula and in strategizing faculty recruitment in the Department.
Our Institute's activity in the domain of bio-informatics and biomedical
engineering has immense potential in view of our excellence in IT and in
Annual Report 2014-15 Page 8
microelectronics. The Institute carried out an External Review of these activities by
a Committee comprising Professor Alok Bhattacharya, Jawaharlal Nehru
University, Professor Prasun Kumar Roy, National Brain Research Centre, and
Professor GS Bhuvaneswar, Engineering Design, IIT Madras. An important
recommendation of the External Committee was to have a dual-degree
BTech(ECE) and MTech Biomedical Engineering program in place of the 5 Year
Integrated MTech in the Biomedical Engineering program, and we have
implemented the recommendation.
The Institute has critically examined all the academic processes and with the
enthusiastic and valuable participation of the faculty has codified the processes,
resulting in the Undergraduate and the Postgraduate Manuals. For effective
monitoring of undergraduate academic activities, each Department now has a
Departmental Undergraduate Committee (DUGC) which also has students'
participation, and similarly for postgraduate activities, each Department has a
Departmental Postgraduate Committee (DPGC), again with students' participation.
At the Institute level, there is now a Senate Undergraduate Committee (SUGC) and
a Senate Postgraduate Committee (SPGC), both with students' participation. The
SUGC has made recommendations to the Senate on various issues like list of
prerequisites as prepared by DUGCs, academically deficient students, schedules of
conducting various examinations, more effective UG project evaluation
mechanism, initiatives for motivating students for doing better projects, analysis
of the last semester result, etc. All our academic programs are now purely credit
based, thereby doing away with the 'year back' provision. For effective monitoring
of both MTech and PhD theses work, the Senate has introduced research credits.
We have been fortunate in being able to attract better and better students every
year, especially for our undergraduate programs. For example, the opening and
closing JEE ranks for open seats for our BTech (IT) program were 2978 and 8751
respectively in 2014.
Our Institute has been given the responsibility of mentoring the Indian Institute of
Information Technology, Lucknow (IIITL), a new Institute which is being set up in
the PPP mode. The first batch of 50 students in BTech (IT) of IIITL has been placed
in our campus for the first year. We carried out the admission process on behalf of
IIITL, designed their portal, and we are helping IIITL in planning their academic
Annual Report 2014-15 Page 9
activities, both at the UG and PG levels, for the next five years. We are happy to
report that admission was given for all 50 seats, of which finally 47 students
joined. This figure, as well as the opening and closing JEE ranks of students
selected for IIITL, are significantly better than those of all other newly created IIITs.
The Examination and Admissions Cell of the Institute has taken a number of new
initiatives which include a single window facility to students, development of a
portal for facilitating online services like results declaration, submission of
applications, etc., reducing the duration of mid-semester examinations, redesign
of grade-cards, transcripts, and degrees incorporating several security features,
and an official twitter account.
We have been fortunate in having recently three overseas academicians
participating in our teaching program: Dr. Steven Pearce (Simon Fraser University,
Canada). Dr. Artus Krohn-Grimberghe (University of Paderborn, Germany), and
Professor Antonio Puliafito (Univ. of Messina, Itlay).
Faculty Recruitment
Faculty shortage is a major challenge faced by our Institute. The challenge is more
acute in the two Departments, IT and ECE, which have undergraduate programs
with large enrolment. We are doing our best to attract and retain faculty at the
entry level without any compromise on quality. We have continued the good
practice of having rolling advertisements, and pro-active faculty search. The
Institute believes that good, young faculty once inducted in the system should be
given the best that we can in terms of pay, facilities, and in terms of a supportive
and friendly environment; they then in turn will be instrumental in attracting
other good, young faculty. Also, the entire faculty should be involved in the
recruitment process. I am happy to report that our efforts have been bearing fruit:
since January 2014 our faculty strength has been augmented by ten.
Research and Development
In spite of a relatively heavy teaching load, it is a matter of great satisfaction that
our faculty members have been active in research. During the period since the last
convocation in April 2014, our faculty along with their students have published
over 150 research papers in reputed conferences and journals, and two book
Annual Report 2014-15 Page 10
chapters. A number of sponsored projects have been granted to our faculty. A
notable one sanctioned in 2014 is entitled `Development and Application of
Atomic Layer Deposition for High Efficiency c-Si Photovoltaic Solar Cells' (to
Professor BR Singh and Dr. Manish Goswami) with a total funding of Rs. 2.16
crores from the Solar Energy Research Initiative, DST. The objective of the project
is to develop the Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) process for the Alumina (Al2O3)
passivation layer with a view to achieve improved conversion efficiency of about
1% in c-Si Solar cells, the technology of which remains today the corner stone of
the photo voltaic (PV) technology. The project is being carried out in close
collaboration with Indosolar, Noida and IIEST, Shibpur. The Institute had started
preliminary work on design and innovation; we have been in contact with
Professor Lina Nilsson, Innovation Director of the Blum Center for Developing
Economies, Berkeley.
The IT Department is in the process of developing three new research and
teaching laboratories: one on Computer Vision and Biometrics, another on
Cryptography and Information Security, and the third on Data Analytics. The
Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of the IT Department, already a
state-of-the-art facility, has recently acquired a humanoid robotics framework--
NAO to facilitate research work in the area of Humanoid Robots, and is engaged in
developing technology related to the social and community services especially
related to elderly persons. IIIT Allahabad is now included as an academic Partner
in the European Consortium for Software Engineering under the category 'EMSE
Members outside of Europe' from 2014 for three years.
The Department of ECE is developing a high-end Photonic Systems laboratory , as
well as research laboratories in the field of RF and in Wireless Communication
Technologies. The Department of Applied Sciences has procured Matlab R2014B as
well as the Schrodinger software with appropriate toolboxes for work on vision,
optimization, fuzzy systems, etc., and on drug design. The Department of
Management Studies has developed a laboratory for Business Analytics, and has
introduced as a pedagogical intervention, a ‘War Room’ (a scenario based study
scheme) to investigate into Strategic Management.
Awards and Honors
Annual Report 2014-15 Page 11
It gives me great pleasure in reporting that during the last one year, two of our
recent faculty recruits have won awards for excellence in their PhD work. Dr. R.
Kala (IT Department) was awarded First Prize in Best PhD Dissertation award by
the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society at the 2014 IEEE Intelligent
Transportation Systems Conference at Qingdao, China. The thesis, extended into a
book length form, is to be published by Elsevier in 2016. Dr. Rekha Verma (ECE
Department) has won the TechnoInventor Award 2014 from India Electronics and
Semiconductor Association (IESA) for outstanding research contribution in her PhD
thesis. Our students community has commendable coding skills, this has been
once more demonstrated through an IIIT Allahabad students' team, securing the
first position at the ACM ICPC Asia Amritapuri Site Online Round.
Administrative initiatives
The Institute has undertaken a number of administrative initiatives under the
guidance of its Board of Management. As faculty recruitment is of great priority, it
has instituted the position of the Dean of Faculty Affairs (DOFA). To help planning
of its infrastructural, financial and other resources and for alumni relations, the
position of the Dean of Infrastructure (DIRP) has been created. DOFA has been
instrumental in carrying out the faculty recruitment process in the Departments of
IT and ECE. DIRP has helped the Departments in planning their infrastructural
development and deployment, and in the ongoing processes of staff recruitment.
For effective coordination of students' activities, the Institute also now has an
Associate Dean of Students. The Institute now has Chancellor's nominees and a
Board approved list of experts for each Department to meet the statutory
requirement for faculty selection committee constitution. The Institute's finance,
accounts, and audit had badly needed proper supervision. Towards this we now
have a Deputy Registrar (Finance and Accounts) on deputation, and an
experienced Audit Officer on an ad-hoc basis. We now have defined a roster for
the purpose of reservation for our staff positions; the roster is needed for staff
recruitment. We have ensured, by constituting an appropriate performance
appraisal committee, that confirmation for the staff happens transparently and
without delay. Towards streamlining the purchase process, a Purchase Manual has
been prepared. Hostel related activities, like the tendering process for hostel
messes, maintenance of discipline, etc., are now being processed with the help of
a newly constituted Council of Wardens, which has students' participation, thereby
Annual Report 2014-15 Page 12
ensuring students' participation in their own governance. Students Gymkhana has
now an active role to play in students' matters, its representatives are now
invitees to the Senate, and they participate in decision making on disciplinary
cases for students. The Institute has facilitated formation of the Staff Forum and
the Faculty Forum.
Students Activities
Our students organize every year in the month of February a Sports Meet, named
Asmita, in which they also invite Institute faculty and staff to participate. The meet
consists of both track and field events. Aparoksha is the annual Technical Festival
organized by our students, held in the month of March. The festival comprises
many technical and analytical competitive events. The annual cultural festival of
our students, named Effervescence, is held every year in the month of October.
Besides these major events, the Students Gymkhana, through its various councils,
carries out regular sports, cultural and literary activities.
A voluntary organization run by students, Prayas, has been involved in providing
educational help to poor children of a nearby village. Students also organize blood
donation camps regularly. The Swachh Bharat Abhiyan campaign of our campus is
essentially students driven.
Infrastructure and Facilities
Most of the major construction work in the Allahabad campus is either complete
or near completion. A five-storied apartment complex for faculty is completed and
is now in use, also complete are thirty two staff quarters. A five-storied Boys
Hostel with a capacity of 754 is expected to be completed soon. This hostel is
partially funded by the Ministry of Social Justice. Work is near completion for the
extension of the Administrative building. Also, work is in progress to make the
entire Allahabad campus persons-with-disabilities friendly.
Several initiatives have been taken recently for our Library. We have started
subscribing to IEEE Explore, thus now, along with the Indest set offered to our
Institute, we have electronic access to all journals and conference proceedings of
importance in the disciplines of computer science, electrical engineering, and
information technology. The Library now has extended the working hours for
all the seven days, namely, from 9 AM to 10 PM; library timings are further
Annual Report 2014-15 Page 13
extended during the examination period. The Library has introduced a book
donation scheme, and has been organizing book fairs regularly. Through the
Library Committee it is carrying out participative budget planning. The purchase
procedure has been made transparent by allowing rolling advertisement for
vendors registration.
We have added a new STM 4 (650 Mbps) Internet Leased line - bringing our total
bandwidth to 1.6Gbps in the Allahabad campus. Additional wireless connectivity
has been provided in the newly constructed residential buildings. We are in the
process of completely connecting the new Boys Hostel which is expected to have
approximately 1000 connected nodes. This will be completed in the current
financial year. KV-IIITA has recently been provided with network connectivity. We
have initiated the process of ensuring that equitable bandwidth is available to the
entire campus, while ensuring that objectionable content is eschewed. Also we
have instituted a Network Usage Policy.
Campus Placement
Industry values our students greatly as witnessed by the ever-increasing campus
placements. Most of the students registered for campus placements, already 309
students have been placed in the best of the national and multinational
companies.
Outreach Activities
During December 08-12, 2014, the Institute organized a Science Conclave in which
one Nobel Laureate, one Turing Awardee, 26 eminent scientists from India and
overseas interacted with 288 college and university participants, and 499 school
students. The Conclave witnessed a lively panel discussion on innovation. In 2014
as well as in 2015 summers, the Department of Applied Sciences organized a
Workshop. on Advance Material and Instrumentation in Biomedical Engineering.
We have a very active IEEE Students' Branch, which was ranked first amongst all
such Students' Branches in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Nepal. In recognition
of our activities in the area of robotics, the International professional society IEEE
has opened a Robotics and Automation Society Chapter at IIIT-A with the
jurisdiction of UP, Uttaranchal and Nepal. The Chapter has already organized a
number of talks and students' competitions. During June 7-13, 2014 SERB
Annual Report 2014-15 Page 14
sponsored First Summer School was held in the Institute which attracted young
researchers from all over the country.
Concluding Remarks
Since its establishment in 1999, our Institute has travelled a long way, by now
establishing itself as a premier Institution of Information Technology and allied
areas. This has been possible because of the sincere and sustained hard work and
utmost dedication of the faculty, the staff, and the successive groups of students.
It is our resolve to sustain and nurture this indomitable spirit in the years to come.

Work done in projects undertaken in the Institute Work done in Speech, Image and Language Processing (SILP) Laboratory of the Institute- (i) Emotive EEG NeuroHeadset: The NeuroHeadset has 14 electrodes as well as a two-axis gyroscope for detecting head movements.The device detects 13 kinds of movement - six directions (left, right, up, down, forward, and "pull/zoom") and six rotations (clockwise/anti- clockwise rotation, turn left and right, and sway backward and forward), plus one other visualization ("disappear"). The angular velocity of one's head can be measured in the yaw and pitch (but not roll) directions by the gyros embedded in the device. Several B. Tech and M. Tech semester projects based on this device have been completed and some projects and research are continuing. (ii) A Cheap Neuroprosthetic hand apparatus using a non-invasive BCI - A cheap apparatus is presented using a non-invasive BCI (by Emotiv Systems) and a 3D printed prosthetic hand for such specially abled people so that they may be able to perform some specific day-to-day tasks. The choice of the headset was done keeping in mind that it should be cheap, can be positioned by subject itself and can transmit data wirelessly. The apparatus has been tested on amputees and with normal people too using computer-based GUI. (iii) SR Research EyeLink 1000 Eye Tracker: EyeLink 1000 Eye tracker is a video input based system, which measures the point of gaze (where one is looking) on a screen. Eye trackers are used in research on the visual system, in psychology, in cognitive linguistics and in product design. Several B. Tech and M. Tech semester projects based on this device have been done and some projects and research works are going on. In current research work, The eye tracker system is being used to find out difficulty level of words/phrase for a reader, assessment of the reader based on his/her reading pattern, and measuring improvement in the reader’s comprehension skill. (iv) Stereo Vision System: The Bumblebee XB3 is a 3-sensor multi-baseline 800Mb/s stereo camera designed for improved flexibility and accuracy. It features 1.3 mega-pixel sensors and has two baselines available for stereo processing. The extended baseline and high resolution provide more precision at longer ranges, while the narrow baseline improves close range matching and minimum-range limitations.

Project Title: Distributing Industrial Optimization Task to Rural Worker India PI: Prof Anupam Agrawal, IIIT Allahabad UK PI: Professor Jonathan Corney, University of Strathclyde, Scotland (UK) Aim of the project: To investigate if it is economical and technically feasible for industrial optimisation tasks to be outsourced to rural BPO workers. The three phases of the project are as follows: Phase 1 - Capabilities: Document economic context and establish the capabilities of Indian and British BPO platform and worker capabilities through series of idealised 2D and 3D trials. This first phase will establish base lines measurements and provide the experience required for the later phases of the project. Phase 2 - 2D Studies: Investigation (costs, performance, speed) of Industrial 2D problems (e.g. nesting, routing, symmetry etc.) using benchmark/ real data. The use of engineering data will allow the value of the BPO work to be quantified for different levels of performance and provide vital input to the business study. Phase 3 - 3D Studies: Investigation of Industrial 3D problems (e.g. nesting feature recognition, shape similarity, symmetry detection etc.) using real data. These will be the most demanding problems tackled by the project and workers will need to have a command of 3D CGI to successfully complete the tasks. It would help to develop viable industrial work-flow for embedding a BPO approach to geometric optimisation in commercial CAD/CAM systems and also to establish a sustainable business model for both manufacturing industry and rural BPO providers. Progress made so far: The "Phase 1" is completed. The "Phase 2", which is primarily based on the online 2D packing/ nesting trails, is nearly completed (experimental trails on one more BPO center has been planned in December'2015/ January'2016). The 3D packing software required for "Phase 3" has been developed and is under refinement. The experimental trails to conduct 3D studies have been carried out at the rural BPO center in Babrala, UP (M/S RuralShores Business Services Pvt. Ltd.) and as well as at the rural BPO center in Jaigad, Ratnagiri Maharastra (M/S Simply Grameen Business Solutions Pvt Ltd.). The analysis of the data is being carried out. While performing next experimental trails, we are planning to first train the workers at the rural BPO center using in-house developed geometrical reasoning based animation software to analyze its effect on their performance while carrying out the 2D and 3D packing/ nesting tasks.

1) We presented a continuous model of chemical potential for single layer graphene which spans from temperature T<< TF (Fermi temperature) to T>>TF. The model is used to provide a thumb rule to predict graphene electrical conductivity for all temperatures. Earlier prediction were made at either near-intrinsic of highly extrinsic graphene sample cases.
2) We address a simplified physics-based analytical model for the temperature- as well as the sheet-concentration-dependent resistivity of the free-standing monolayer graphene sheet. The analytical solution is achieved through the formulation of the sheet-concentration as the function of the external current. To determine the temperature-and sheet-concentration-dependent resistivity of the suspended layer of graphene, we have utilized the Landauer formalism in the diffusive limit. Besides, the overall contribution of different scattering mechanisms has been calculated considering both the in-plane and the flexural phonons. The analytical model presented in this work is in good agreement with the available experimental data.
These results have been published in the journals mentioned above.
6. Lab and Curriculum Development
The Nanoscale ELectro-thermal laboratory or the NET lab at Room No. 2226, CC-I was started in 2014 by Dr. Sitangshu Bhattacharya and focuses strongly on electrical and thermal management of emerging materials and devices, both in bulk as well as in the submicron or nanoscale order. At present we are mainly engaged to conduct theoretical research to explain electronic and phononic transport properties like electrical and thermal conductivity, Seebeck coefficient, interface physics, noise and RF modelling in 2D graphene/dichalcogenides based heterostructure transistors, Joule-heating effect in interconnects and vias and RF/Analog ICs and low power VLSI systems. We use the Boltzmann transport theory and many body physics based advanced analytical formalisms with mathematical and computational tools like Green's function, first principle techniques, etc. to explain the said properties. The lab is currently funded by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), India and IIIT-Allahabad.
Course Curriculum: Novel contents added to the course “Modeling & Analysis of VLSI Devices”:
(a) Schrödinger's equation and quantum well problems, Fermi energy and Carrier concentration, Fermi Golden Rule, Boltzmann Transport equation, Relaxation time approximation, Scattering rates and mobility
(b) Landauer transport formalism, Mobility model,: transmission coefficient, 1D and 2D MOS electrostatics, Non-equillibrium Green's function (NEGF) formalisms, scattering matrix, self-energies
(c) Injection and transport model, Continuity equation, Planer Double Gate MOSFET transistor current and threshold voltage Modeling (d) Ebers and Moll and Gummel-Poone model, depletion type MOSFET, depletion capacitance, series resistance, early effect
The followings are our field of studies:
1. Power Scaling, Noise and RF modeling in Carbon based devices: Two-dimensional (2D) single layer graphene (SLG) or simply an SLG sheet in recent years has demonstrated exceptional electronic and thermal transport properties that was never found in the counterpart of Si and other conventional materials. Two of such properties are the electron or hole mobility and the thermal conductivity, that happens to be extremely high (of the order of 2,00,000 cm2V-1s-1 and 5000 Wm-1K-1 respectively for suspended SLG) and thus attracts attention. One can now think to fabricate high quality
Annual Report 2014-15 Page 68
channels of what is now called as graphene-based FETs. Both of these merit manifests a large amount of on or saturation current as well as showing improved immunity towards Joule heating. But due to the absence of energy band gap, 2D SLG FETs has less fortune for digital applications where fast switching is mandetory. On contrary, the same has potential applications in the domain of analog or RF transistors where the device is needed to be always on condition. Within such domain and in order to boost further current levels one should analyze the electrical conductivity coupled to the Joule heating in detail, not to mention the choice and role of the underlying dielectric so that heat could also see a low resistance to flow down. Thus, in order to track down the transistor current both at low and high electric field, estimation of the electrical conductivity is a must. This electrical conductivity (σ) of SLG sheet is the most puzzeling one to persue in the sense that it does not follow the universal minimum conductance formalsim, which other 2D materials strictly does. This non-universality is further added to the demonstrated intreguing fact that SLG behaves both as insulating as well as metallic in the same temperature range regardless of whether it is put suspended over the contacts or placed on the substrate. This makes the study interesting in a way that it roots deep into the dynamically screened electron-electron interaction arising from the graphene intrinsic plasmon as well as the graphene-dielectric interface surface plasmon. This domain thus originates from the aforementioned observations and thus focusses on estimating the SLG sheet transistor on-current, using physics based analytical as well as computationally efficient models, over different polar-dielectrics in the presence of Joule heating or more specifically self-heating.
2. Thermoelectric Devices and Circuits: Power Scaling & Efficiency: As of today, the world’s energy consumption that relies on non-renewable fossil fuels is approximately 88%. About 75% of this energy is wasted into the environment while converting into useful work by the internal combustion heat engines which have a mere efficiency of about 40%. Recovering this grass-root waste heat and transforming it into electrical energy without any using moving parts can be done through what is known as solid state thermoelectric (TE) devices. TE device works on the principle that the heat can be transformed into useful electricity as long as there is a temperature difference (ΔT) or gradient. This phenomenon is known as Seebeck effect and was discovered, using dissimilar metals subjected to a temperature gradient, by the German scientist Thomas Johann Seebeck in 1891. The measured output electrical voltage was found to be proportional to the temperature difference. This initiated the motivation of obtaining electricity using the waste heat from the environment and quest for TE device performance and efficiency limits. A conventional internal structure of a commercial TE device is shown below that uses a cascade of p- and n- type semiconductors. Although there is no limit on the temperature difference between the substrates as shown in the figure below, however depending on the type of application this ΔT could be from low (near room temperature) to almost above 1000 K. For example, a TE based electronic watch uses almost 10oC difference (standard room temperature is 300 K and body heat is almost 310 K) to run, whereas an electricity generator generally needs as high as 500-1000 K of ΔT from industry/nuclear plant. In view of VLSI circuits, in last few years it has been observed that with the increasing hot-spots due to the addition of trillions of transistors inside an integrated chip in a VLSI device, micro -TE based sensors are in high demand because of their ability to drive other devices efficiently from the waste heat generated from the chip where the temperature rise could be as high as 100 0C. The primary goal of this domain of research is mathematically analyzing the overall stability and efficiency of a TE device that can extract and channel the heat from the chip. The proposed model can then be used efficiently to estimate the electrical and thermal properties of thermoelectric materials as well as their arrays at such geometries and analyse their performances as miniaturized Thermoelectric Generators (TEGs) and coolers. Conventionally, the efficiency (η) of a TE material is measured via the dimensionless “Thermoelectric Figure of Merit (TFM)”, generally denoted as ZT and depends solely on the materials’ Seebeck coefficient (S), Electrical conductivity (σ) and electronic thermal conductivity (κe) and lattice thermal conductivity (κph). Typical values of a very good ZT are in the range of 1, 2 and 3 and finds practical applications as TEGs and coolers and in commercial and industrial sectors. However, achieving a value of more than 2 is horrendously challenging, given a specific operating temperature zone, and requires severe amount of material assortment and design, together with optimization of charge carriers densities and material dimensionality.
3. Interface Physics of Solar Cell Materials and Circuits: Amorphous materials like Al2O3 has rapidly gained in popularity in the past years as thin film passivation material for c-Si photovoltaics (PV). Al2O3 is a wide band gap (~8.8 eV for bulk material) dielectric which consists in different crystalline forms. However, for passivation layers amorphous Al2O3 films are used with a somewhat lower band gap (~6.4 eV) and with a refractive index of ~1.65 at a photon energy of 2eV. The films are therefore fully transparent over the wavelength region of interest for solar cells. The films are typically quite stoichiometric ([O]/[Al] ratio = ~1.5) although there can be a slight excess of O in the film. When prepared by CVD-based techniques, the films exhibit also a low hydrogen content (typically 2-3 at.%) and this hydrogen is mostly bonded to the (excess) O as –OH groups. It has however been observed that the excellent passivation properties do not depend sensitively on the Al2O3 properties such as stoichiometry and material purity. The hydrogen content of the Al2O3 films is however found to be very important for the chemical passivation of c-Si obtained from the Al2O3 films. This holds also to the interfacial layer of SiOx (1-2 nm thickness) that is (always) formed between the Al2O3 and the Si when applying CVD-based techniques. The domain of this research spans ab-initio methodologies to capture the interface physics of amourphous/c-Si based solar cells under different physical conditions.
4. Mott- Transition Field Effect Transistors (MOTT-FET): Mott insulators are extremely interesting in the sense that these are a class of materials that conducts electricity when under an electric field and at a particular temperature. This insulator-metal transition/phase change is called as Mott-transition and can be used to make FET switches and memory devices. Besides electric field excitation, the Mott phase transition can also be triggered by photo-and thermal excitations for potential optical and thermal switches. There are few complex oxides like VO2 that makes transition at comparatively low temperature from insulator to metal which however forbids their usage in high chip packaging temperature like at 85° C. Here we thus focus on complex oxides for the electron-electron interactions or in short the strongly and weekly correlated systems using Mott-Hubbard model. Understanding the electronic arrest mechanisms while de-coupling from structural Peierls distortions is one of our interests.

Brief Summary of the department’s activities during the year 2014-15
4.1 Department of Information Technology
Website: https://it.iiita.ac.in/it/home.php The institute primary aims to achieve excellence in Information Technology and related fields. All programmes offered by IIITA are in the area of IT or in the cusp area of IT and other allied fields. The Department of IT was formally established along with other departments in 2014 to strengthen teaching and research in information technology. The department offers BTech in IT (at both Jhalwa Allahabad and RGIIT, Amethi), dual-degree (BTech(IT)+ MTech in IT with specialization in different areas like “Intelligent Systems, Cyber Laws and Information Security, Wireless Communication Engineering, Human Computer Interaction, Robotics, and Software Engineering ”; BTech(IT)+ MBA), PhD and Integrated MTech + PhD programme. To that end, considerable initiative have been taken by the department to establish state of the art teaching and research laboratories in the area of natural language processing, Robotics, Wireless Sensor Networks, Human Computer Interaction, Speech and Language Processing, Biometrics, Data Analytics and Cryptography and Information Security. The programmes at most undergraduate and post graduate level are evolving from a rigid structure to a flexible course structure to allow the students specialize and diversify at the time. Students are encouraged to undertake project in a group starting from V semester and advance research project in VIII semester emerging areas. Opportunity for innovation and incubation is provided at this stage to successful projects by the institute for industrial standards. The department offers financial support to its young faculty for cutting edge research and also encourages them to undertake sponsored research from industry and government agencies. Presently several projects sponsored by both government and industry are being undertaken in the department. Administrative and Academic Restructuring: During the past year (2014-15) various committees have been formed at the departmental level to look after each and every activity related to undergraduate & post-graduate programmes, training & placements, purchase, etc, of the department. For all academic matters pertaining to the undergraduate programme(s) and Postgraduate programme(s) offered by the Department, the Departmental Under Graduate Committee (DUGC) and Departmental Post Graduate Committee (DPGC) have been constituted. To streamline procurement of various equipment and other official requirements of the faculty members, a departmental purchase committee has been constituted. Faculty Recruitment In past years, the department was facing a severe crunch of faculty due to large enrolment of undergraduate and postgraduate students. To manage this, the department is actively involved to attract and retain young talent.

It was yet another season where IIIT-A surpassed its previous records with majority of the students getting placed in the Dream Round Companies. Some of our top recruiters were Google , Amazon , Adobe , DIRECTI , Cisco , Morgan Stanley , De Shaw , Qualcomm , Myntra , Flipkart , Arista , Dev Factory etc . Majority of the top companies offered a package close to 25 lpa or more and a substantial amount of IT students got placed in these companies. This season also boasts of various startups that visited our campus which gives us an idea of the reputation of IIIT-A in the industry. This season also stood out because of the fact that almost all the companies that hired from our college before returned with more slots reserved for IIIT-A. This tells us about our alumni base which has reached out to all the spheres of this industry and is performing exceptionally well. This placement season also noticed a substantial increase in the number of third year students that were hired for summer internships. Also the conversion rate from Internships to PPOs was almost 100%. Almost all the top recruiters that visited us for Full Time Employment also took significant number of interns which will help vast number of our students to get industry exposure at a very early stage. The feedback we received from the companies that visited us was that they were elated to see the talent pool of our college and immensely satisfied with their hiring. Even the companies that visited us last were also jubilant to see the depth of knowledge in our students. They also told us that the basics of the students were very clear and also advised us to improve a bit in the practical domain. In short all the companies were really satisfied from their visit and this ensures us their return during the next season. Overall we did better than last year and we will strive to continue the same. Concluding Remarks: The department is in the process of strengthening academics through course development, revision of existing programmes by planning to hold an external review of all academic and administrative processes. Different committees have been constituted to stream academic processes by making academic decision making fast and transparent. The faculty recruitment process has been streamline to attract t he best talent and their retention is being ensured by providing the best possible facilities and academic environment for personal progress. The department continues to strive to achieve excellence in teaching and research through these endeavours.

of core areas of Information Technology to the students of ECE department at IIITA as compared to the students registered in similar program at
other premier institutes of India. The department offers BTech in ECE, M. Tech. in Microelectronics, Dual-degree in B Tech (ECE) and M Tech in
Bio Medical Engineering or Microelectronics, Dual Degree B. Tech (ECE) and MBA, Integrated M Tech and PhD program along with the direct
PhD program. The department provide healthy environment to students and faculties to carry out inter department collaborative research in area
like bio medical engineering, robotics, human computer interface etc. Having undergone such a robust academic programme under the
supervision of highest quality faculty members all passing out students of the department are capable of visualizing, planning and developing big
projects of commercial and research interests in their respective field of expertise.
The new initiatives undertaken by the department towards further expansion and the value addition during the year 2014-15 are summarized
hereunder:
Faculty Recruitment
At the start of the year 2014 the department had just 4 faculty members which have now been increased to 15. At the same time this is a
pleasure to report thatno compromisewith the qualityhas been done as the newly recruited faculty members have very good academic record
including their highest degree from prestigious institutes like IISC Bangalore, IIT Kanpur, IITRooraki etc. with impressive research publications.
The process of selection involves departmental screening, research and teaching presentation/demonstration followed by the interview through
selection committee of experts. The department is actively involved to attract and retain such high quality young faculty. For this, the department
has put up a rolling advertisement for the post of Assistant Professor (on contract), Assistant Professor (regular), and visiting faculty from
personnel from universities, institutes, R&D labs, industries, and Government, in India or Abroad.
Administrative and Academic Initiatives
Annual Report 2014-15 Page 73
The department has innovatively restructured the courses offered which include subjects ranging from the conventional core ECE courses as
well the emerging areas of IT and biomedical to the highest level of research (leading to the doctoral degree). Various committees have been
formed at the departmental level to look after each and every activity related to undergraduate & post-graduate programmes, training &
placements, purchase, etc, of the department. For all academic matters pertaining to the undergraduate programme(s) and Postgraduate
programme(s) offered by the Department, the Departmental Under-Graduate Committee (DUGC) and Departmental Post-Graduate Committee
(DPGC) have been constituted. To speed up and help purchasing of various equipment and other official requirements of the faculty members, a
departmental purchase committee has been formed. A most recent and much needed step has been taken by the department is the constitution
of departmental training and placement (T&P) cell to enhance the training & placement activities of ECE students. This result in ever-increasing
campus placements;about 86% of our students are already placed (intern+full time job/ full time job) in one semester itself in best of the national
and multinational companies till date, still some more companies are yet to visit the institute for placements.A team of students under the
supervision of HoD and T&P faculty in-charge had developed a departmental website that acmes primary and the detailed information regarding
our course-curriculum, faculty profiles, projects undertaken by the students, awards and honours, etc. To encourage the undergraduate students
to develop their technical skills and all round personality development, following awards have been introduced by the department:
• Best Student Award in a particular batch basedon the criterion of overall best performance in academics& extra-
curricular activities.
• Best Project Award from 5th semester -7thsemesters to develop hands-on skills along with the class room study.
Research and Development:
Research is an integral part of any academic institution. The department has well established undergraduate as well as research
laboratories viz., the Basic Electronics lab, Basic and Advance Programming lab, Bio Electronics lab, Cad lab, Communication System lab,
Control System lab, Mobile Comminationlab,Fiber Optics Research lab, VLSI Technology lab etc. To meet the current thirst research
requirements and to strengthen advanced studies in emerging fields, following laboratories have additionally been developed:
• VLSI System Design laboratory and Embedded System Design Laboratory has been developed and the non-disclosure agreement
was signed with United Microelectronics corporation (UMC) and Innovations for High Performance Microelectronics (IHP) to access
the commercial process design kits for designing and fabricating integrated circuits and systems.
• The Nano Scale Electro Thermal laboratory (NET Lab) was established to make use of technologies in typically unusual domains in
innovative ways to strengthen the state-of-the-art research in novel semiconductor materials and devices at nanoscale.
• A wireless communication laboratory equipped with cognitive wireless software defined radio (SDR) test-beds has been developed
to reinforce the wireless technology.
• The department has recently installed Atomic Layer Deposition(ALD) System in VLSI Technology laboratory. We now have most of
the equipment/machinery needed for fabrication and characterization of semiconductors devices that includes silicon based
transistors and sensors.

Title of the Thesis: Flexible Service Oriented Network Architecture for Wireless Sensor Networks
BRIEF NOTE ON THE PROJECT & ITS OUTCOME
There has been an increase in software and hardware resources for the current
applications and effort have been carried out to fulfill the future unseen
demands by the research and scientific communities to provide way for the
innovation in Wireless Sensor Network. Current Wireless sensor network is
designed for specific applications with tightly coupled architecture but future
WSNs are envisioned to comprise large number of heterogeneous services for
wide range of applications. A new flexible architecture is required, having
support to unforeseen demand of applications and users. Therefore we propose
a service oriented model based architecture Flexible Service Oriented Network
Architecture for the WSN.
PROGRESS/ CURRENT STATUS OF THE PROJECT
The Proposed architecture FSONA provides the facility to the developer and
scientific communities for the development or innovation of service in sensor
network without worrying about the difficulty of change in current tightly
coupled architecture. As developers we have done the implementation of DV-
hop, Centroid, APIT algorithm as service for WSNs .

Title of the Thesis:Ontology Engineering for knowledge Discovery
BRIEF NOTE ON THE PROJECT & ITS OUTCOME
One of challenges of semantic web (3.0) is to construct ontology from text.
Ontology learning is the automatic or semi-automatic creation of ontologies,
including extracting the corresponding domain's terms and the relationships
between those concepts from a corpus of natural language text, and encoding
them with an ontology language for easy retrieval. As building
ontologies manually is extremely labor-intensive and time consuming, there is
great motivation to automate the process. The objective is to create ontology
from text which can enhance the ability of traditional or current e-learning for

Brief Note on the Project and its Outcome: - Study of cognitive robotics draw inspiration from cognitive
science combined with state of the art robotics algorithms. The core challenges in cognitive robotics are
as following.
1. Reasoning in a situation that require commonsense knowledge which is either learned or
provided.
2. Avoiding unnecessary repetitive behaviors.
3. In their efforts to make robots “think like human,” early cognitive robotics researchers focused
on high level cognition and gave no mechanism for building control from the bottom up.
Although the intention was to model humans, most of the systems did not, like humans, acquire
their knowledge from the real world.
4. Memory and accumulation of knowledge.
5. Need for metrics and evaluation measures for cognition.
6. Integration of inter- disciplinary knowledge.
The proposed work includes development of a cognitive architecture to overcome above challenges.
There are mainly three types of cognitive architectures, symbolic, connectionist, and their combination
hybrid.

Worldwide-Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) is an
emerging wireless technology which provides higher data transmission rate
(70 Mbps) with a broad coverage (30 miles). Like other wireless networks,
WiMAX network protocol layers are also sophisticated to many of the
security flaws. Many of the vulnerabilities in WiMAX networks have been
solved with the evolutions of WiMAX extension. However, there is a need of
incorporated view of all security solutions and comparisons of those
solutions.
Proposed research work includes the coupling of WiMAX Network
attacks. Collaboration of multiple attackers (with synchronized activities)
may accomplish disruption against the targeted network systems. Combined
efforts of many attackers may be more destructive to the network security.

Title of the Thesis: Fabrication, characterization of controlled drug delivery devices for the applications in the development of oral drug delivery system
Brief Note of the thesis:
Drug delivery is still challenging in the therapeutic
treatment. The current technology uses the common methods
such as pills, ointments, intravenous solutions etc. These
methods aim at a very quick reaction and they depend on
particular reaction and concentration of the drug. The
concentration of the drug gets degraded with time, therefore
in order to sustain its effect the drug has to be reused after a
certain time. This can be achieved by the delivery devices
which are bio compatible.
The proposed research work is focusing on to the
fabrication, characterization of the micro devices for
controlled drug delivery and their applications in the
development of oral drug delivery system. The micro devices
for controlled drug delivery devices using different materials
will be simulated and fabricated and characterized. The
different actuation techniques, the drug dissolution rate and
compatibility of the drug with the fabricated device will be
experimented and compared.

Title of the Thesis: Performance evaluation and optimization of Amplify- and - Forward (AF) relaying based two-way cellular network.
BRIEF NOTE ON THE PROJECT & ITS OUTCOME
The aim is to evaluate and optimize the performance of two- way AF relay in
cellular context under various fading channels. With this, we will analyze
several performances measure such as outage probability, symbol error rate and
ergodic sum-rate. In addition we will optimize the system performance by
optimizing the several factors such as power allocation, relay location, joint
power allocation and traffic asymmetric parameter.

PROGRESS/ CURRENT STATUS OF THE PROJECT
A cellular two-way relaying system have been considered in which a multi-
antenna base station (BS) communicates bidirectionally with one of several
single-antenna mobile stations (MSs) via a single-antenna relay using analog
network coding. With such a general setup, an overall system outage
probability analysis over Nakagami fading channels have been performed.
For more insights, we derive a closed-form asymptotic expression for overall
outage probability and an upper bound expression for ergodic sum-rate of the
system. Based on these expressions, we show that the system achieves a
performance gain, and a diversity order of minimum of the number of BS
antennas and the number of MSs. Moreover, we address the problem of
optimization of relay location in order to minimize the overall system outage
under asymmetric traffic conditions.

Title of the Thesis: Elucidation of genes for the early detection of cervical cancer and effect of
ultrashort electric pulses on the cervical cancer cells. (Tentative)
IMAGES OF ACTIVE RESEARCH BEING DONE/LABS
BRIEF NOTE ON THE PROJECT & ITS OUTCOME
The Pap test, also called as “Pap smear” is being practiced as a screening test for
cervical cancer. Pap test examines the presence of abnormal cells in the smear of cells
from the cervix. The cell samples are sent to pathologists for the detailed examination
under microscope. The rate of smear failure for invasive cancer has always been very
high, approximately 50%. According to various studies it was documented that 20%
smears obtained within 1 year before the diagnosis was made, were false negative. The
system has deficiencies that are based on human factors and cannot be remedied
readily by rules and regulation. One of the ways to conquer the false negatives is to
possibly employ other characteristics of these cell samples and automate the
examination procedure of the pap smear. Towards this, targeting specific gene/protein
as a biomarker of pre-cancerous cell of cervix and, studying the response of cervical
cancer cells under ultra-short electric pulses can be a good approach.

7. The Infrastructural development
7.1 Infrastructural Facilities The Jhalwa campus includes three Computer Centers with several labs each, lecture halls, a newly built auditorium, electronic library, and a residential campus. Various other facilities are under development. The NSC complex includes five laboratories, eight computer laboratories, five lecture halls, a conference room, auditorium, library, cafeteria, office space and other facilities. The total covered area is about 25,000 sq. ft. Besides this, there is an open space of 50,000 sq. ft. that is used for parking, lawns and sporting activities. The new campus has been developed on 100 acres of land at Devghat, Jhalwa, on the outskirts of Allahabad. The architecture aims to transcend established design conventions and make a statement about the similarities between atoms and bits. Instead of the traditional geometric lines, the campus and other buildings have been styled on patterns developed by internationally acclaimed scholar and mathematician, Roger Penrose. Penrose Geometry This grid was chosen because the process of constructing a "Penrose Universe" has a remarkable congruence with the fundamentals of information theory. The basic units of information are aggregated in simple or complex sequences to provide a variety of "information structures" that span the entire range of human activity.
